Justin Timberlake The Justin Timberlake Oscars We now live in a world where Justin Timberlake can call himself an Oscar nominee. Small mercies, it’s not for acting. Here’s JT at the Nominees Luncheon yesterday being his flagrant self. Earlier I posted about Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling possibly not performing the Oscar nominated songs By Lainey • Feb 07, 2017 01:46 pm
Amazingness Lin-Manuel Miranda: the Oscar fangirl When Lin-Manuel Miranda found out he was nominated for an Oscar, unlike SOME PEOPLE, he did not play too cool for school. Because, as he explained later, he’s a total Oscar nerd. The Oscar nerd went to the Oscar Nominees Luncheon. And the Oscar nerd became an Oscar By Lainey • Feb 07, 2017 11:55 am
Chinese Squawking Chicken Gigi mocks the Buddha At our old house, my ma, the Squawking Chicken, had a big-bellied smiling Budda placed mid-landing up the stairs. You saw him as soon as you opened the door, which was the intention: to have a jolly Buddha greeting everyone as they walked in, like a happy blessing. By Lainey • Feb 07, 2017 11:05 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Team Moonlight at the Nominees Luncheon Have you seen Moonlight yet? Moonlight is challenging La La Land for Best Picture. It’s an underdog though, especially since La La Land just took the Directors Guild and the Producers Guild award before that. There is, however, some backlash about La La Land. I liked La La Land.

Style Emma & Ryan won’t perform? Oscar Nominees Luncheon yesterday. As you know, La La Land leads with the most. Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling were there as Best Actress and Best Actor nominees respectively. La La Land also has two songs in the Best Song category and I wondered a few weeks ago whether or By Lainey • Feb 07, 2017 09:43 am
Douchebags Intro for February 7, 2017 Dear Gossips, I read an article at the New York Times yesterday that enraged me. So, like any good friend, I passed my rage onto Duana right before bedtime and then promptly fell asleep. Didn’t help. When I woke up I was still pissed. The article is about the By Lainey • Feb 07, 2017 09:02 am
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Rosamund’s plaid pants These pants. I need to find them. So into how they’re cut around the waist and hips. And they fall to the perfect length. I’m not crazy about a strappy booty like this (it’s so Saturday night Vegas) but I can ignore the footwear because of her By Lainey • Feb 06, 2017 03:55 pm
Show Your Work Podcast Show Your Work: Beyoncé’s blessing, Ben's admission, and the mothers of superheroes Duana and I had always intended for this week’s episode of Show Your Work to be about Beyoncé, because this weekend was the one year anniversary of Formation. Then, well, Beyoncé released the Beyoncé Pregnancy Package and so, obviously, we had to discuss the rollout of the announcement, and By Lainey • Feb 06, 2017 03:42 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Ruth’s green earrings Ruth Negga’s dress here is D&G. I don’t usually love black lace but the big sleeves and the drama of the whole thing is working for me. Still, without the earrings, the outfit is nothing. The green is SO sharp with her short hair and against By Lainey • Feb 06, 2017 03:23 pm
Amazingness Team Jackie Maybe we disagree about the Super Bowl. Or whether or not Prince Harry will marry Meghan Markle. But here’s something we can all agree on, I promise. Jackie Chan is a giant of Chinese cinema. Maybe THE giant of Chinese cinema. My parents were born in Hong Kong. I By Lainey • Feb 06, 2017 02:59 pm
Janet Jackson Justin Timberlake’s Super Bowl Bai It was announced last fall that Justin Timberlake had invested in a beverage startup called Bai. There was a Bai commercial during the Super Bowl. Mostly it’s Christopher Walken low-talking the lyrics to NSYNC’s Bye, Bye, Bye. And then we cut to JT trying to express something By Lainey • Feb 06, 2017 01:53 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Gwen is red for church I’m obsessed with this outfit. Particularly the jacket. I’d buy the jacket, maybe take a pass on the pants. This was Gwen’s church outfit. I don’t think Gwen’s ever worn the same thing twice to church. But she gets papped at church. So church is By Lainey • Feb 06, 2017 12:45 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Nicole’s beaded Marchesa By Marchesa standards, this dress is relatively inoffensive. I’ve forgotten about it already. But I’m not sure we were meant to remember it anyway. Nicole has several big events coming up: Grammys (possible), BAFTAs, the Oscar nominees luncheon, and then of course the Oscars. As I say every By Lainey • Feb 06, 2017 12:15 pm

Sports Tom Brady: QB1 is a Snake Tom Brady and the New England Patriots made history last night, coming back from a major deficit in the second half and, in Brady’s case, proving that the word “enough” doesn’t apply to some people. The Patriots win means that no one had to worry about any hot By Lainey • Feb 06, 2017 10:21 am
